InvestOps Asia 2027 | Asia’s Most Senior Investment Operations Event

Connect with COOs and Heads of Investment Operations from leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds and Insurance Firms across Asia.

InvestOps Asia 2027 builds on the success of our 2026 summit, which brought together leading investment operations leaders from across Asia for two days of candid conversations, practical insights and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.

As we look ahead to 2027, the investment operations landscape continues to evolve at pace. AI is moving from experimentation into execution, operating models are being fundamentally rethought, private markets continue to scale, and data, digital assets, regulation and cybersecurity are creating new operational demands.

Watch this space as we update and publish our 2027 agenda.

For 2026, we brought the investment operations community together for:

Inspiring keynotes and fireside chats covering AI, digitalisation, private markets, data, outsourcing and operating models.
COO perspectives and expert panels on transforming operations into strategic value drivers while balancing efficiency, risk, technology and growth.
Data & digital infrastructure discussions on building a single source of truth, improving interoperability and enabling AI-driven operations.
Private markets & Total Portfolio Approach deep dives exploring the operational, data and governance challenges of scaling investment strategies.
Interactive Deep Dive Roundtables covering agentic AI, reconciliation, AI regulation, legacy systems, outsourcing, risk, talent and growth in China and India.
Tokenisation & Digital Assets examining their impact on middle- and back-office operations, infrastructure and post-trade processes.
Forward-looking conversations on operational alpha, transformation ROI, cost optimisation, scalable technology and resilient operating models.
Unmissable networking through peer-to-peer discussions, interactive roundtables and our evening Networking Drinks Reception.

2026 was just the beginning. Join us in 2027 as we shape the next chapter of investment operations across Asia.

The conversations weren't theoretical. They were built on experience, mistakes, judgment and the quiet discipline of building institutions that last."
